Today’s file is cute little Christmas file of a simple bow in “disc” style that I love so much.I hope you like it!
For those of you who have asked- mt packing is not going as well s it could- I can find endless reasons not to pack ! I take possession of my new house in 2 weeks and move in 3. *GULP*
I have lots of offers to help but I am also trying to purge as I go along and I am the nly one who knows what is precious and what isn’t. If you are familiar with the FLY Lady technique of de-cluttering then if you have’t used it in the last year or of it doesn’t make you smile- throw it away!
I get so bogged down with guilt. I have two HUGE boxes filled with afgans my grandmother crochets. I am so torn- i will never use them and I cant bring myself to give them away. In last years of er life she started wring down her thoughts and daily events along with paper clippings, etc and I have 7 boxes of these that I have now moved FOUR times. Sorry to ramble- would love to hear what others do with this kind of stuff.
At any rate I will be posting all week- hope you like the new file

Thanks Lisa, cute bow. As to packing, I just moved my parents from their home to a very small apartment in a
senior complex, lots of hard decisions had to be made. With your “afghans”–keep the written memories, take great photos of all the afghans, keep one or two of your favorites and donate the rest to an organization who will give them to people to use. That way, you still have the photos, and the memories.

Thank you for all your designs and instructions – soo cute & inspiring. I agree with bzyPTmom. Donate the afghans to those who need and will appreciate them. I’m into FlyLady myself and I just saw news report on homeless camp in my area. They need warm stuff! I have a ton of fleece so I am making some head & neck warmers for them. I’m donating 7 yards of fleece that I bought to make myself team blankets but my son changed schools before I made them. That is going to my niece’s Girl Scout Troop to make blankets THEY will be donating. Scan your gma’s notes, keep a few and mount in a frame with some of your designs. If it’s not honored, it’s junk.

love the bow. I know what you’re going through. I moved my parents in with us with most of their thing – no time to throw away – it’s been 10 years – mom’s been gone 4 of those and still the basement if full of boxes of their things. it really is so hard.
Good luck.

As for the afghans, I have a few of my grandma’s afghans. If there’s a couple that you love and cant bear to part with, keep a couple and see if any other family members would like some too (esp. if it’s the only one thing they get of “Grandma’s” to remember her by. If after family members have had their opportunity to chose, you can donate them to a charity (Afghans for Angels comes to mind – it’s one that I wish I had time to create and donate for myself). Good Luck with the packing.
